      A long read that helps you understand the U.S.

      Albion's Seed - David Hacket Fischer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion%27s_Seed

      The four migrations are discussed in the four main chapters of the book:

      • East Anglia to Massachusetts
      The Exodus of the English Puritans (Pilgrims influenced the Northeastern United States' corporate and educational culture)[3]
      • The South of England to Virginia
      Distressed Cavaliers and Indentured Servants (Gentry influenced the Southern United States' plantation culture)[4]
      • North Midlands to the Delaware
      The Friends' Migration (Quakers influenced the Middle Atlantic and Midwestern United States' industrial culture)[5]
      • Borderlands to the Backcountry
      The Flight from North Britain (Scotch-Irish, or border English, influenced the Western United States' ranch culture and the Southern United States' common agrarian culture)[6]

      Fischer includes satellite peoples such as Welsh, Scots, Irish, Dutch, French, Germans, Italians and a treatise on Black slaves in South Carolina. Fischer covers voting patterns and dialects of speech in four regions which span from their Atlantic colonial base to the Pacific.

      Hope has two beautiful daughters: Their names are Anger and Courage. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be. - St. Augustine. Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their vision. - Ayn Rand
